NEWSBest Delta 8 Gummies of 2025
Once upon a time, when you talked about THC everyone knew you were referring to Delta 9 THC. But now?
Continuing studies show that not only are there multiple different types of THC, but thanks to the differences in how they interact with your brain and body, they provide a wide range of effects as well! Which means now more than ever you can find exactly what you need in the right product, with the right beneficial and/or psychoactive effects you’re looking for.
Without further ado, let’s take a deep dive into the best Delta 8 gummies of 2025.
What is Delta 8 THC?
As a newer cannabinoid on the market, Delta 8 THC has begun to make a name for itself in the last couple of years. Similar to Delta 9, Delta 8 offers a lot of the same benefits as the “traditional” THC without some of the more potent side effects. The main difference between the two comes down to their chemical structures and how they interact with your endocannabinoid system (ECS). Your ECS stretches throughout your whole body and interacts with both your central nervous system and peripheral nervous system to help control and regulate things like your sleep cycle, immune system, and stress management. So what does this have to do with THC?
Every cannabinoid in the Cannabis sativa plant interacts with either the CB1 or CB2 receptors within your endocannabinoid system. CBD, for example, interacts mainly with your peripheral nervous system by binding to your CB2 receptors. Delta 8 THC, on the other hand, binds to both receptors for a full-body experience.
Benefits of Delta 8 THC
Delta 8 THC provides a milder high, allowing you to experience a lot of the same great benefits as Delta 9 THC but with a greater sense of calm, relaxation, and a smoother, more clear-headed high. When taken in proper concentrations, Delta 8 THC has a number of amazing benefits, including:
- Promoting a sense of calm and relaxation
- Reducing anxiety
- Managing pain
- Boosting your mood
- Improving quality of sleep
Potential Side Effects of Delta 8 THC
While Delta 8 THC is less potent than Delta 9, you may still experience some side effects if you’re trying Delta 8 for the first time or if you take too large of a dose. These side effects can include:
- Loss of appetite
- Red eyes
- Confusion
- Anxiety
- Memory loss
- Slower reaction time
How to Mitigate the Side Effects of Delta 8 THC
Whether you’re experienced with THC, trying THC for the first time, or trying Delta 8 THC for the first time, the main thing to consider is dosage. If you’re worried about experiencing side effects or need help deciding how much Delta 8 THC is right for you, we’ve created a general guide to help you get started.

How Does Delta 8 THC Differ?
While you’ve probably heard of Delta 8 THC by now, did you know there are more types of THC than just Delta 8 and Delta 9 in the Cannabis sativa plant? Delta 10, THCA, THCP… The list goes on and on, but for now, we’re going to focus on those five. In order to really understand the difference between so many kinds of THC, we have to get a little sciencey.
Delta 8 vs Delta 9
Like Delta 8, Delta 9 THC also binds to both your CB1 and CB2 receptors – the only difference between the two is the location of their double carbon bond. Delta 8 THC has a double bond on the eighth carbon and Delta 9 on the ninth, hence their names. The difference may seem trivial, but it actually matters quite a lot. Thanks to its chemical structure, Delta 8 THC doesn’t bind as strongly to your CB1 receptors, making it about half as potent as Delta 9. But what does that mean for you?
With fewer psychoactive effects, you get to enjoy the calming and medicinal properties of THC with a more manageable high than Delta 9 THC. Think anxiety relief and pain management with a clearer head, allowing you to go about your daily life without a distracting high.
Delta 8 vs Delta 10
Many people choose Delta 8 THC for its more calming qualities and milder high. Delta 10 THC, on the other hand, offers a more dynamic experience that users find ideal for daytime or social use. While Delta 8’s high is half as potent as Delta 9’s, Delta 10 THC provides a more energetic and invigorating high thanks to the way its strong bond with your CB1 receptors.
Delta 10 also has a faster onset time, about 15 minutes, compared to Delta 8’s which can be closer to an hour. But thanks to it’s quick appearance, the effects of Delta 10 only last for about two to four hours.
Delta 8 vs THCA and THCP
If you’ve never heard of THCA and THCP, you’re not alone.
THCA, or THC-a, stands for Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid – the acidic predecessor to every other type of THC. As the cannabis plant matures, THCA breaks down and morphs into other THC variations. Which is probably why you’ve never heard of it. That, and the fact that THCA doesn’t cause the psychedelic effects associated with other forms of THC because it only binds to CB2 receptors. THCA is more beneficial for its neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferative qualities.
THCP, or Tetrahydrocannabiphorol, is naturally found in the Cannabis sativa plant, but in very very small quantities. THCP may actually be substantially more potent than Delta 9 THC because THCP binds to your brain’s CB1 receptors 33 times stronger than Delta 9 THC.
Studies suggests that THCP could boost and lengthen the psychoactive effects of THC, but more research is needed to understand its implications for medical and recreational use. Currently, THCP falls into a gray area legally, but will likely become regulated in the future thanks to it’s strong psychoactive properties. Not much else is known about THCP in terms of benefits and potential side effects as it was only just discovered in 2019.
Delta 8 Gummies – FAQ
How Many Delta 8 Gummies Should I Take?
Elevate offers Delta 8 gummies in various strengths so that you’re more able to find the strength you’re looking for. Technically the serving size on the back of the bottle says one gummy, but feel free to cut your Delta 8 gummies in half or in quarters to achieve the does thats right for you.

Federally, Delta 8 THC is in a gray area, because while the 2018 Farm Bill specifically lists regulations for Delta 9 THC, it doesn’t mention Delta 8. Although Delta 8 is derived from hemp, which is discussed in the bill, some Delta 8 products may contain more than the federally legal limit of 0.3% Delta 9 THC.

Age requirements for buying Delta 8 THC vary from one state to another. While the minimum age for purchasing Delta 9 THC, 21, is explicitely stated in the 2018 Farm Bill, there is no mention of Delta 8 THC. Although it does fall under the classification of a hemp-derived product, because Delta 8 THC can also be synthesized from Delta 9 THC, it falls in a legal gray area.
Does Delta 8 Expire?
Like all other natural products, Delta 8 has an expiration date.Delta 8 THC oil, for example, should last for around two years when stored properly. Delta 8 gummies, on the other hand, lose potency after about one year. Keeping them in their pharmaceutical-grade glass jars will help preserve freshness and potency. Refrigeration may also help extend the shelf life of your Delta 8 gummies. In order to determine if your Delta 8 THC is still safe and effective or if it’s expired, try:
- Checking the expiration date
- Assessing the appearance
- Smelling the product
- Inspecting for contaminants
- Checking for texture changes
- Taste testing it
- Checking the storage conditions
- Evaluating the efficacy
While using an expired product will likely not cause you any harm, you may have a suboptimal experience such as an unpleasant taste or smell, reduced potency, and a loss of therapeutic benefits.
How Much THC is in Delta 8 Gummies?
This number depends on which gummies you’re looking at and what type of THC you’re referring to. At Elevate, our Delta 8 gummies often include additional beneficial cannabinoids, such as CBD, Delta 9 THC, and Delta 10 THC, and are offered in a couple of different strengths.
